Policy Research

  • International policy is often fraught with challenges including language and transparency barriers. We are experienced at policy analysis at all levels (international law through to local and customary laws) across the Asia Pacific, India and Latin America.

  • Our team of field researchers works international to conduct high-quality consultations and data-collection drawing on our network of stakeholders across the region.

  • We conduct English and foreign language policy and desk reviews covering academic and grey literature drawing on our academic partnerships for access to leading journals and publications that brings you the latest empirical thinking on key policy issues.

  • We author or co-publish public policy reports with strong empirical foundations to support advocacy efforts with regulators and the government or to drive new policy agendas.
